Who is John Derris?

JOHN DERRIS has been performing magic since he won several talent shows as a young boy. During his National Service with the R.A.F. he toured with a service revue "Revel And Fun" and appeared in a number of shows and stage plays.

On returning to civilian life he decided to continue his career in advertising. For many years he ran his own international advertising agency and on retirement returned to magic and performed for many of his clients in all parts of the world - and has even performed in a TV celebration with Whitney Houston in Istanbul!

Today he is a full time professional magician and has performed at St. James's Palace, The House of Lords, Castle Howard, Wardour Castle, Claridges, The Dorchester and many other international and prestigious venues.
